RECOVERING MEMORIES FROM ANOTHER LIFE
RECOVERING MEMORIES FROM ANOTHER LIFE
As I opened my eyes a mesmerizing transformation occurred.
I found myself standing in the midst of a breathtaking world, brimming with vibrant colors that seem to radiate from every corner.
The environment around me was an amalgamation of surreal beauty and ethereal energy. A kaleidoscope of hues dances in harmony, creating a tapestry of ever-changing shades that ignited all my senses. The sky above was a swirling canvas of azure blues, golden yellows, and cotton candy pinks, seamlessly blending into one another.
The ground beneath my feet was not a solid surface but a flowing sea of colors. Each step that I took created ripples of vibrant pigments, as if the very essence of life is embodied within them. The colors shift and blend with each movement, creating a dynamic and living terrain that responded to my presence.
The landscape around me was not static. It seemed alive, pulsating with energy and emotion. Streams of colors flow like rivers, cascading down waterfalls that shimmered with iridescent hues.
The air itself seems to be infused with color, creating a surreal atmosphere that filled my very being. Every breath that I took was filled with a symphony of scents and flavors, a sensory feast that invigorated my soul.
Slowly the color of the realm receded to reveal the true nature of this mysterious realm.
"Is this a dream?" I asked myself as I wondered about the marvel of the apparition before me.
-----
Soon, the ground that I stood on materialized but unlike the feeling of vibrant freshness before, the feeling was cold. The ground I stood on was transformed from the coldest stone and surrounding me was what appeared to be tombs of some kind.
"What is this place? Is it a graveyard of some kind?" I asked myself.
"It is your Soul realm", a voice spoke to me as an image that looked like an older version of me appeared in front of me which shocked me.
This was the same person in my strange dreams when I traveled across magical realms and spectacular worlds.
"Who are you?", I asked my body double.
"I am you, your memories from a previous life according to the kooky theory of magic of this world although in scientific terms, I consider myself a manifestation of an alternate personality", the image told me.
"I don't know what you are talking about", I told the image of my older self.
"I am Orion, Incarnate of Valhalla, ruler of Orionville and husband to three of the most beautiful women who ever lived", the image told me suddenly about himself.
"Who are you again?" I asked the image of myself.
"I am you, your memories from a previous life. I told you already", he repeated to me.
"I heard you, but what the hell are you?" I asked him again.
"I am the manifestations of your memories from a previous life. A part of your mind, or my mind, created me to bring those memories back to you", he said to me.
"So, you are my split personality?" I asked him.
"In scientific terms, that is correct although my existence is only temporary, until your mind recovers all your previous memories", he told me.
"Do you have something to do with the frequent visions I have?" I asked him.
"Those are not visions but experiences, my experiences that are carried over to you after your rebirth", he said to me.
"I am reborn? What do you mean?" I asked him.
"Well, I or your previous life was forced into the Realm of Rebirth which is a mysterious place that sends me here to be reborn. But I am an immortal soul of the Valhalla, so my memories cannot be cleansed by the Realm of Rebirth. They remain here inside your soul", my memories told me.
According to this guy who looks like an older version of me, I was his reincarnation, and I kept all my memories from a previous life, although those memories were locked from me. He was actually the memories of my previous life, who would slowly reveal to me about my past.
"What is Valhalla?" I asked him.
"Valhalla is the religion of the watcher gods but that is a memory you will recover in time", he told me.
"Why did you suddenly appear to me now?" I asked myself.
"Because you have awakened the magic of your Soul realm. Your memories are locked inside your magical soul and now that you can come inside this consciousness, I am present to you", he told me.
"Huh, what does a Soul realm do for me, would it give me Templar powers?" I asked him.
"Templar powers? Never heard of it in my life", he replied to me.
"What is Soul magic?" I asked him.
"Your soul realm would give you soul powers and abilities once you awakened them," my mirror image told me.
"What kind of abilities and how can I access them?" I asked him.
"All your soul magic was gone during rebirth, so you have to collect more before you could use your soul skills again", he told me.
"How do I collect soul energy?", I asked him.
"When a human or magical beast is killed near you, its soul would be released and there is a probability you can absorb it. The iridescent clouds of varying hues you just experienced were dead souls waiting to be absorbed into your soul realm", he explained to me.
"It's that simple", I said to myself.
"Yes, that's simple, but not that easy", he replied to me.
"I know now why I managed to activate my soul realm all of a sudden", I told myself.
It must be because of my visit to the Butcher when they were slaughtering magical beasts. My soul realm must have absorbed some of the soul released when the beasts were killed.
There was another question that I wanted to ask the memories of my previous life.
"In my visions, I am often together with two women, who are they?" I asked him.
"They are your wives, don't ever forget them", he replied to me when suddenly, another voice called out to me, to wake me up from my trance.
----
"Orion, are you alright?" the Butcher asked me while putting me on a chair to rest.
"I'm ok now I guess", I replied to him as I returned to reality.
"You better go see the healer now. It must be symptoms from your injuries fighting with the baron's son", he told me.
"Yes, I would, thank you very much", I thanked the Butcher.
"Was what I saw earlier a dream?" I asked myself.
But something inside of me told me it was not. It also became apparent to me now why I often get into situations where I could do things that were beyond my knowledge, like making strong ropes and tying unbreakable knots.
There was a mysterious personality inside of my mind, a split personality that created itself to aid me, to return to me the memories of a previous life that were useful to me.
The funny thing was I now know about the science and psychology of the mind and alternate personalities, something that the people of this world were ignorant of. My previous life really came from another world.

(Author's Note)
Orion's previous life was once an enhanced human from 23rd century Earth. He was transported into a magical world called Ouamua when the solar system collapsed into a Black Hole due to a mysterious experiment.
In this new world, Orion learned how to survive and was freed from the social constraints in his old world. Eventually, he travelled across different alien worlds, learned to use magic and obtained a magical soul from the Valhalla, an interplanetary religion that watched over the worlds.
At the end of his story, the world of Ouamua was destroyed and fell into this world, the continent of the Ten-Kingdoms. Later, he was reborn into this world which continued his story here.
The recovery of his memories would give Orion a return of his soul magic, knowledge of the 23rd century Earth and other experiences that he obtained during his previous journey.
For those readers who feel the story too complicated, it is probably because the story is carried over from the Prequel book: Awakening@end of the world, which you may also read on this site.
